syncopated.

occupational interests

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes
Words have two meanings

In the tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

i leant to play that on the piano last year... da da dum dum dum...

occupational interests

where will these people be 20 years from now...?

for pc, we had to do this survey to "help you in choosing a career or course of study... it contains brief descriptions of activities performed in many different types of work."

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

so there are things like "exercise animals at a kennel or a stable", "be responsible for recruiting and rejecting staff", "collect and study different forms of marine life" and so on. 108 choices.

the result was that i scored highest under the panel 'scientific/investigative'. as was kwong, benlay and aaron(i think). i think it's quite accurate...

here's the description:

"people who's interests lie in scientific exploration and discovery. they generally enjoy puzzling out why or how things occur or work and see themselves as inquisitive, serious, independent, and scholarly. they score high on measures of self-esteem, and attach much value to honesty. they like to be in control of knowledge and understanding and often solve problems by careful research into all the available options. their preferred working environments are usually in the fields of scientific or medical research. the stereotyped media image is usually an eccentric scientist who, having analysed the evidence very carefully, proceeds to baffle everyone with theory."

haha, i like that last line. anyway, sounds good to me. i find research fascinating - i do want to do something of the sort in the future.

but how would i get there? how do i climb up that ladder?

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go
Because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

got my powerpack on sunday:)

actually got to use it when i exchanged boats with cai weiguo. like damn easy to use... downhaul so shiok haha. dunno why he go so slow though...

cai was telling me how black dog aka zhichao, max, ren and him had been at a lan shop together and had gone blog-surfing - they went to all the sailors' blogs and posted things like "yo ____(insert blog owner's name) wassup. you suck." like nothing better to do issit...

anyway, sailing is damn bloody fun.

. . .

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll...
